[@NH-ir6he]

The Vietnamese coffee was supposed to be cut with condensed milk. That kit literally comes with condensed milk packets, I’m confused as to why they didn’t use them lol

[@milesfann33]

Because the GMM team enjoys seeing Rhett and Link suffer through things.

[@FramesPerSecond]

Thank you. Was going to say!

[@imannatasha3302]

Americans are not used to adding condensed milk to drinks like asians are

[@brittanyr1318]

Why didn’t anyone tell them that the whole point of having Vietnamese coffee is the sweetened condensed milk…which comes in that Copper Cow package

[@Sarah-ul9ec]

Also, why did they get Tous Le Jours macarons??? Couldn't they get some better lavender macarons?

[@NawTNicky]

They really failed on that

[@danmakes2497]

My guess is that they thought it was like a sweetener rather then part of the actual drink; someone else mentioned Americans don't use sweeten condensed milk like Asians do.

[@ekbrandon93]

Rhett intentionally stopping the wheel on Gifticality is one of the most wholesome things on the internet

[@Meezyb33]

Yeah I bet it looks great for their taxes lol

[@PurpleBassThumb]

@@Meezyb33 them tax refunds REALLY hitting at the end of the year 😂

[@josephp2109]

Vitamin Water blueberry lavender drink is bomb. OH that makes me think of something.....do a food feud between Gatorade and Powerade!!

[@BruhFlawless]

Or a gut check!

[@MsPandacakes]

Vitamin water does a lavender Blueberry too, which is pretty.good for a zero sugar.

[@bigdaddycountry7]

Power-Ade all day IMO.......they would frustratingly have it be decided by something other than the sports drinks I'm afraid.

[@andrewfisher4501]

Food feud mixed with a gut check!

[@syd.vicious]

they can't really since it's just a drink

[@CallMeNeecko]

The Rhett “spin” to gifticality every day needs to be it’s own compilation.

[@drpeppergurl]

the funniest part is his cheeky smile at the camera while he does it

[@PurpleBassThumb]

@@jeremycmsmith they have for taxes 😂😂

[@breezeypower]

11:32-11:37 the sync between them opening the drinks and putting that cap down was so satisfying

[@DaisyNova333]

There's a compilation on one of their channels where they show clips of all the times they're in sync. It's pretty cool.

[@chelseamiller5353]

Rhett’s vibe between GMM and More today is so chaotic and I love it

[@FoxxieMoxxie22]

I love that Rhett and Link both put the caps down at the same time in the same way😂 11:34

[@rylennberry3375]

I would love to see a kombucha taste test, where they guess the flavors 🙃

[@milesfann33]

They did that a few seasons back.

[@k1773ns]

They already did that

[@chazlon5061]

they already did that@@k1773ns

[@woodam11]

My husband and I recently painted our bedroom purple. Highly recommended!

[@mikamagnol8931]

I wish rose-flavored things were gaining popularity as quickly as lavender. It's easy to over-do, though. It becomes sickingly sweet easily.

[@sophiadanielle8358]

I agree I really like rose. I’ve had rose lattes and rose boba and it’s so yummy

[@MsPandacakes]

Rose is a very popular flavor, just not as much in the US. I love floral flavors. Lavender, rose and cherry blossom are my top 3

[@missstarbuck]

oh rose flavour is sooooooooo good !!

[@spiceandmice9135]

Indian grocery stores or grocery stores with a decent international section are good places to find rose flavour. Or you can get fresh stuff from sweet shops although they tend to be, well, sweet (gulab jamun is usually rose flavoured, but it's also floating in syrup).

[@punxie89]

Rose flavoured lemonade is amazing, perfect combo of sweet rose and sour lemons, highly recommend

[@averyeml]

I know the comments already explained the issue with the coffee but my favorite part was that they literally came to the conclusion that they should do the thing to it that was meant to be done. “It would probably be a lot better if it had, just, a bunch of dairy.”

[@yamo_chan]

That synchronized cap placement at 11:35 was very satisfying. I had to rewatch it a few times.

[@Crimson_Knight004]

Thanks for that! I missed it and had to go back to see it. Indeed very satisfying. 👌

[@yamo_chan]

@@Crimson_Knight004 your welcome. I’m glad someone else enjoyed that random moment. Haha.

[@_juicejames]

I don’t think link quite knows what “splooged” means 🥴😂

[@danielgoodwin5979]

🤘

[@BoomSquadCarAudio]

🤣🤣🤣

[@FyreJams]

Not the first time he's said it either lol

[@englishatheart]

Skeet skeet? 😂

[@ludicolo378]

Oh, but I'm sure YOU know what that means "Juice James" 😉😙 LOL jk!

[@Bravokaylyn]

A local ice cream shop serves lavender with sweet balsamic drizzle and it is so good. Without the balsamic it would be way to overpowering

[@maryalicecullen526]

The Yogi honey lavender tea is my favorite! I love Lavender and Rose flavors in almost anything.

[@randommoonphase8602]

Lemon lavender cookies are the best thing ever to exist! Lavender both smells and tastes Devine! 👌

[@MsPandacakes]

I think lavender is one of those rare instances where it smells exactly as it tastes ♥️

[@smason9157]

Lavender is honestly one of the few popular flavours that taste like what it smells like

[@skippythealien9627]

it is well known to be a sleeping aid. i bought a diffuser and some lavender oils and i find it does help me at least start a routine to go to bed

[@bonita1228]

I want to see Rhett in a lavender male onesie for his birthday. Please Link.

[@LurreOfTheSilveryMoon]

Have Mythical Chef Josh whip up a Beef Wellington with lavender demi glacé. AMAZING.

[@meredithszymanski4720]

Those copper cow pour over coffees come with creamers that make them great! They’re condensed milk. Definitely need to try it with the creamer they come with.

[@cellliot]

i was gonna say! you have to use the sweetened condensed milk so it’s actually a vietnamese coffee

[@brittnil1828]

I will say them drinking them wrong, and seeing the comments tell them how to properly drink them… made me really want to try to them. 😂😂😂

[@riyahdani8258]

I think you guys should do “will it boba?”

[@lexitk1128]

YESS

[@nataleemendoza2859]

They should do a lavender sweatsuit set for the new logo!!!

[@janmay3901]

With a lavender headband lol

[@arianafadroski6789]

Lavender colored merch 😉

[@cbreeyze]

When Link shook the kombucha, I was like, "Nooooooooooooo." You're supposed to gently swirl it, not shake it

[@sashaleggett1994]

why

[@Blueberryyymuffin]

@@sashaleggett1994 it’s like shaking a soda

[@MsPandacakes]

I adore lavender flavored things ♥️ actually not just flavored, scented too. And Lemon Lavender is one of my all time favorite combos ever. Lavender lemonade, lavender macarons, lavender mochi 💜 so good

[@molecularbandit]

What does it say about me when I'm always more interested in the MORE episode's topic than the main channel's 🤪

[@Rhiawiz]

I’d say 3/4 of the time I am too

[@Silvercanth]

I think a lot of people share your feelings.

[@Palidine4M0O]

That the main episodes restaurant choices were between bad and unknown.

[@jontucker24]

Probably nothing

[@haleytrades1698]

i just love that Rhett will stop the spin on the gifticality. they really are some amazing guys.

[@TSaxRuleTheWorld]

My friend made me a lavender ice cream cake for a party once, and let me tell you that thing was amazing

[@cassandee1303]

I love the idea of them taking a nap together after this episode. Fighting over the couch 😴

[@booksandcrochethooks]

I love lavender! They should've had lavender lemonade. 🙌🏼💜

[@its.tess.period]

The smiling part had me dying 😂

[@kaylabeauvais2549]

Y’all eff’d up the Vietnamese coffee. As a person of Vietnamese decent I’m offended. Strong coffee with condensed milk mixed together and pour over ice. That’s how you do it.

[@sierrafleeman9574]

I Remember getting lavender and honey ice cream at a really nice ice cream shop in Portland once. Place was called salt and straw Ice cream was fantastic

[@AwesomeCat2012]

Ultrasonographer here! Rhett missed his dream career. My whole job is grayscale. 🤣

[@havemercy4345]

"That taste like it might be poison." - Rhett, Quotable

[@xlanakeix]

My ✨insomnia✨ looks forward to GMM uploads at 5am🤩

[@skeeterarnold9189]

Episode idea: Taste test all the GT’s Kombuchas. They absolutely do not all taste the same. Also, they all settle. You have to flip and swirl it (slowly).

[@skeeterarnold9189]

Lol 😂. That is the exact reason I specified (slowly)! I’ve been there also.

[@CloakedinMurk]

A lavender GMM hoodie I would buy certainly.

[@Emily-hh4vo]

I enjoy lavender soap but avoided it as a flavor until I finally tried a london fog and was in love. Tried making one at home and it tastes like soap.

[@bodyofhope]

Soap doesn't taste very good, lavender or otherwise.

[@patriciaallen2146]

Rose macarons/lime basil macarons and lavender mint lattes with rose whip are amazing.

[@SilentRebellion33]

I love to bloom lavender in gin, then make lavender gin tonics. Gorgeous color when you leave the gin steeping in your fridge overnight. I prefer Leopold Brother's Summer Gin, which is really bright and citrusy.

[@keawarren]

Will try this for spring happy hours!

[@SilentRebellion33]

@@keawarren I would definitely recommend more citrusy gins for this rather than floral. Floral totally overpowered the drink. Go for a more lavender lemonade vibe and it is *chefs kiss*. Cheers!

[@therachellllcat4444]

I love how they both put the kombucha caps down at the exact same time 😂

[@FrekiGuides]

Do a "Which foral taste do we like the most" tournament style with all the foral food tastes hahaha.

[@jhandle900]

Floral

[@kailyn7902]

I love how Rhett is not even subtle about moving the wheel to Gifticality 😘

Wonder if Rhett andLink ever take a Ross and Joey nap lol!

Put the ice cream in the coffee!!!

[@kelseakeys5426]

Oh my gosh links throw up bit was hilarioussss he’s so freaking funny

[@shit_tiger]

Aahh they didn't include my favorite lavender flavored thing! There is a lavender soda that is SO delicious from a brand called Dry. If anyone sees that, I HIGHLY recommend you try it.

[@dracolover04]

Mix it with lemonade it’ll change your life

[@shit_tiger]

@@dracolover04 I hadn't thought of that!

[@nadaleedavis2993]

Is the lavender strong?

[@shit_tiger]

@@nadaleedavis2993 it's not strong at all in my opinion. Very smooth. I know with special flavors like this, they usually go overboard on the flavor but this one is really nice.

[@punxie89]

YES I just tried it the other day, and will definitely be buying it again, it was delicious

[@geniusonyeo]

Good morning, Rhett & Link, and fellow Mystical Beasts around the world! (although it's evening here in Indonesia)

[@moriahhart2117]

“That tastes like it might be poisoned.” - Rhett 😂

We make lavender and almond scones at my job and I was sceptical at first but it is pretty dang tasty

[@jessicap.8114]

How did you do a lavender tasting without lavender lemonade?!?

[@InvdrDana]

Link's monologue about vomiting started to take on a Dr. Seuss quality after a bit. XD

[@meinenklinke]

My favorite ice cream was lavender with a blueberry lemon swirl. The Liz Lemon Ben & Jerry’s. So good.

[@francesarteaga5080]

next gmm- does every kombutcha taste the same (or a rhett rant)

[@boilingandspinninggrapefruit]

I’ve never had a lavender flavored thing but lavender fabric softener has saved me from my anxiety on several nights

[@GeminiWolfstarGaming]

While Kombucha is an acquired taste, you can get it flavored enough to make it taste like the flavor you're putting in it. My mom has made flavored and non-flavored Kombucha, and for me I've tasted a distinct difference. And as an aside, I've had the Synergy Lavender Kombucha they're drinking, and I love it! Hands down, it's my favorite flavor!

[@TejuAbiola]

If you like that flavor, I recommend their seasonal spring flavor ‘Bloom’!

[@GeminiWolfstarGaming]

@@TejuAbiola Thanks for the recommendation!

[@mikeellchuk3787]

I love GT Daves Kombucha I drink it all the time. Cody Ko and Noel Miller made a pretty funny video about an interview he did for Forbes. And then he invited the boys to his mansion to interview him themselves. Both vids are great, GT is a pretty cool dude.

[@gijsh370]

I've made homemade kombucha and got some pretty distinct flavours in addition to the vinegary kombucha flavour. Particularly lapsang souchon (smokey tea) and galia melon worked very well

[@brandonyungen6207]

[@TheHarvestGoddessChloe]

I don't mind lavender in food, but my old cleaning lady used to put lavender sachets on my pillow and it made it impossible to sleep. So now I sort of associate lavender with insomnia and anxiety and so I can't stand it.

[@smakies5331]

I used to work in a Crowded Candyshop . So the smell of candy /Sugar make me super stressed ^^'

[@kitty-kitten-]

I don't care what anyone says, kombucha is nasty and no matter how good it's supposed to be for you, I'll never drink it again 😂

[@EvelynRobinson22]

I think so too! Tried it once and once was enough lol

[@Ginyasha]

lavender is like grayscale plus. what a fancy guy.

[@_yellowbana29]

I am a huge lavender flavor fan! My favorites are Honey Lavender ice cream from Salt & Straw and Lavendar Milk Tea from either my local shop or Rabbit Rabbit if I really want a strong flavor. Otherwise, I get Rose flavored everything

[@thelisarahman]

Lavender coffee seems counterintuitive. One’s meant to wake you up and the other is meant to put you to sleep

[@FalconOfStorms]

WAKE UP GRAB A COFFEE AND GET A LITTLE NAP ON

[@thelonelygoose5507]

They counteract each other lol

[@emilyfaith4061]

It's gotten to the point now that when I see it's a Gifticality day, I automatically rewind to see if Rhett stopped it there on purpose. And he pretty much always does lol

[@ludicolo378]

They should do the same thing with violet flavored things. I know violet ice cream is a thing at least. Or even lilacs, I know that flower is used in cooking too. Ahhh, I just love purple flowers.💜💜💜

[@brandongainer9434]

Hardly any of you remembered my favorite color is lilac- Gilderoy Lockhart

the salt and straw lavender ice cream >>>>

[@davetarpley3740]

Glad Rhett is okay with saffron. It's a great flavor -- though quite distinctive and even dominating. I had saffron gelato that was awesome. It was like vanilla for adults -- a floral flavor that wasn't whimpy. I love Indian food but most Indian desserts strike me as too sweet. But a saffron rice pudding was delicious. The only saffron misfire was at a fancy restaurant where the au gratin potatoes had so much saffron the dish tasted medicinal.

[@cecilmcleod5631]

I recently discovered sunnyside up eggs, herbs of providence(feat.Lavender), dehydrated onions and cheese + toast are an ✨amazing✨ breakfast

In Morocco (where i am from) safran is one of the most looooved and respected spices.
